What I can't live without


one thing I can't live without is my mother without a doubt. She my sunshine when my day is filled with clouds She's my guide when I'm lost in the crowd. She's laughter when I can't seem to find mine She's my hope when my hope is dying. She my motivator when I can't motivate myself. She's my nurse when I'm feeling down on my health She's my strength when I'm feeling weak Her hand is what I grab when I stand to get back on my feet. Her arms embrace me when I'm feeling my worst When I need someone to talk to she's who I call first. When all my friends are gone and nowhere to be found, my mother is the one who is always around. She's my teacher and my comforter, my personal comic. She's my nurse, my number one fan, she's my bodyguard and my best friend. I love my father, my sister and my brother too, but what my mother does for me that's something they can't do. I will scream, I will pout, I may even shout. Because my mother is who I can't live without.
